There’s no doubt in my mind that living in Texas as a plus size woman Texas has reignited my passion for denim. I just want to be clad in a cornucopia of jeans, drizzled in delicious denims, and deck out in dungarees. It’s versatile, comfortable and reliable. So when I saw this season that denim on denim was a trend, I leaped for joy.
This fall denim isn’t just around, it’s rocking the main stage. It’s denim or denim on denim with a touch of denim. I couldn’t be happier. I’ve seen a resurgence of the oversized, zip up denim work suit, pieced denim dresses, and amazingly reconstructed jeans. Gimme Gimme. But as a Texan, I couldn’t be more excited that the Texas tuxedo is really the star of this catwalk trend.
Rocking this trend is pretty simple. Denim pants, denim shirt and a denim jacket are what this honky tonk tuxedo are all about. But to truly nail this look, consider varying the shades of denims you use.
The denims should contrast, the Texas tuxedo is not about being monochromatic. That’s another trend and so last season. So look for denims in a similar color palate. However avoid denims that contrast too much as this can be jarring and make the look lack cohesiveness.
An easy way is to look for the same hue of denim, but in different washes. For example , all three pieces in this look are a light color- except the jeans have a traditional blue wash,the shirt a more modern gray wash, and finally the jacket’s wash has a slight greenish hue to it. Instant contrast baby! Add a pop of color with a bold bandana and you’re ready to bring the rodeo to rodeo drive.
